Question:Hello AnnieI was wondering if you were pleased with your wedding at The Wainwright House. I heard the site rental fee is $12,000. Is that correct? It seems high for the rental fee alone. Was Cornerstone or Watson your caterer?Thank youJennifer

Response from the couple:Hi Jennifer,Congrats on your wedding. The Wainwright House was amazing! We had many many people tell us that it was the best reception that they had ever been to (from people that go to a lot of weddings). They were telling us it reminded them of "The Great Gatsby". We used Cornerstone, and I would HIGHLY recommend them. Gary took care of everything. It was like having a wedding planner. The food was wonderful to boot. I believe the rental fee is 12K, but when compared to putting up your own tent somewhere it can be considered a good deal. The wedding could not have been better.

I'm so glad to hear that you had a great experience at the Wainwright House last July. We are looking into the WH for our wedding next summer, and I am curious about your experience in July (we originally wanted June but they are booked). Was it cool enough in the tent? Did being on the water make it feel a bit cooler? We are planning to begin our ceremony at 6:30, so I'm hoping it will not be too hot for guests and therefore uncomfortable. Thanks and I hope you are enjoying your first year of marriage!Best Regards,Julie

Response from the couple:Hi Julie, The Wainwright House was amazing, as was Cornerstone Catering (and Gary!). We had many people tell us it was the best wedding they had ever been to. We had a gorgeous day that was not too hot (especially for July). I think the high that day was like 80 degrees. We did have on standby the "air conditioner" which Gary described more of a "tent cooler". He said it doesn't make the tent as cold as an air conditioner would, but help if it was really hot. We ended up not having to use it. It also definitely gets cooler there at night. We had 245 people at the wedding, so I was nervous very nervous about the weather. Here is a link to a quick slideshow from my photographers, if you want to see how it all looked in July. http://www.saraandsarma.com/data/slideshow/80/AnnieDave/index.html

Best of luck with everything, and congrats!

Response:Hi Annie,

Thanks so much for your response. We are most likely going to book tomorrow for July 2, which hopefully will be just like your day (and today!). Your wedding pictures are gorgeous, thanks for sharing!Thanks!

P.S. Did you get the paper lanterns from the Wainwright House or did you buy them yourself?

Response from the couple:Julie, that's great! I am sure you will be so happy with the venue. We got the lanterns through Cornerstone Catering, and they actually had a bunch of different lighting options. The lanterns I believe were something like $200 per pole (one of the less expensive options) and we thought it went with the summertime atmosphere we were going for. Good luck with everything!
